my dell inspiron 1501 with xp wont go into pc restore mode when i press ctrl f11, or any other key combination ive found on the web. i found a post talking about the recovery partition so i went into my computer disk management and found only the basic c drive partition. the hard drive on this computer was replaced about a year ago and im guessing they wiped the recovery when they installed new hard drive or is it located somewhere else. Also i have a dell inspiron 1520 with xp that has 4 partitions listed below. can i copy the recovery one over from the 1520 to the 1501 and make it work that way.
1520 partitions
partition basic FAT healthy (EISA configuration)
partition basic FAT32 healthy (unknown partition)
(C) basic partition NTFS healthy (system)
MEDIADIRECT partitiom basic FAT32 healthy (unknown partition)
